"Crashed near Flora Lake near Franklin River logging
operations. I have flown over it in a helicopter on a fire patrol
with a buddy of mine who flys for it. The site has a cairn that was erected a few
years back by a joint Canadian / US ceremony. As i search
the net i cannot find anything about this crash. I have been
told it was a flight from Tofino Airbase to Patrica Bay Airport
which is know as Victoria B.C. International Airport. All crew
were killed including a number of nurses who were on the
flight. For
many years the site was quite remote but logging in the last
twenty years has made it accesible. I had a class mate in
1968
who lived in the logging camp who told me he hiked into the
site and took one of the 50 cal. guns."
